{"product_id":"kuki-reka-kani-koru-cookie-stamps-set-of-3","title":"Kuki Reka Kani Koru Cookie Stamps Set of 3","description":"\u003cp\u003eThree designs rooted in the stories and symbols of Te Ao Māori, together in one set. The Kuki Reka Kani Koru Set brings together the Koru, the Hei Matau and the Pikorua - each one a stamp to press into your baking, and each one carrying a meaning that goes far deeper than the kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eKoru\u003c\/strong\u003e (spiral) is drawn from the unfurling silver fern frond - a symbol of new life, growth and new beginnings. Its circular form suggests eternal movement, always returning to the point of origin. The Māori proverb speaks it simply: \u003cem\u003e“Ka hinga atu he tete-kura - ka hara-mai he tete-kura.”\u003c\/em\u003e As one fern frond dies, one is born to take its place. The \u003cstrong\u003eHei Matau\u003c\/strong\u003e (fish hook) carries the legend of Māui, who pulled the North Island of Aotearoa, Te Ika a Māui, from the ocean floor with a hook made from his grandmother’s jawbone. It represents a deep connection to the sea, to Tangaroa (God of the Sea), and to prosperity and safe travels over water. The \u003cstrong\u003ePikorua\u003c\/strong\u003e (double twist) depicts two new shoots growing together, entwined without end - a symbol of two people or cultures joining as one, with loyalty, love and friendship that has no finish point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKuki Reka Kani stamps are designed and made in Hamilton by the Rauawaawa Kaumātua Trust, with sales going directly towards supporting their work with Kaumātua in the local community. Buying one is a small act of baking with a genuinely good purpose behind it. Kuki Reka Kani loosely translates as cookie cutter - with Reka meaning delicious in Māori.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from food-grade polypropylene with an aluminium dowel insert, dishwasher safe on the top rack. A wonderful gift for bakers, for anyone who loves Aotearoa, or for the creative baker who wants to make something truly one of a kind.
